Our malas are hand-knotted between each seed and gemstone, allowing one to chant their mantra — a sound or string of words — and keep track of were they are.
Our mala necklaces all reflect the number 108. Almost all of our malas have 108 beads, while some have 54 (half).
Here are some more popular reasons behind the 108 mythology in mala beads.
Chakras
One of our favourite explanations for having 108 beads on a mala is related to the chakras (the seven energy points in our body).
It has been said there there are 108 energy lines connecting to the heart, with one of them believed to be the path to self realization.
Mantras
When using your mala beads in meditation and chanting your mantra, some have said you are complete once you have done it 100 times. The 8 extra beads are to account for errors. Or even more beautiful, are meant to be an offering to your guru.
Letters
Many choose to recite their mantra in sanskrit, the ancient script of India. Within the Saksrit alphabet there are 54 letters. Each letter has a feminine and masculine version — totalling 108.
